Privacy Policy

Data Collection

Global Protocol is a single-player game with optional online multiplayer through Steam. We do not run our own game servers, and we are committed to respecting your privacy.

What We Collect

• Optional Gameplay Analytics (if enabled): If you allow analytics, we collect gameplay telemetry such as session timing, selected country, high-level gameplay events (for example menus opened and major actions), plus technical diagnostics like game version, platform, and crash/error context.
• Crash Reports: Unity Cloud Diagnostics is enabled. When the application encounters an unrecoverable error, anonymous crash data (stack traces, device info, Unity version) is automatically sent to Unity's servers. No personally identifiable information (PII) is included.
• Analytics Installation Identifier: A pseudonymous analytics profile identifier is created for this installation to support measurement and deletion workflows. It is not used as an account login or authentication secret.
• Local Save Files: Game progress is saved locally to your device in the application's persistent data directory. Save files are never transmitted to external servers.
• Local Log Files: The application writes diagnostic log files to a Logs/ folder within the persistent data directory. These files remain on your device and are not transmitted externally.
• Multiplayer Session Data (only when you play online): Multiplayer saves and local multiplayer logs may include the Steam IDs and display names of the players in your session. They stay on your device. The in-game "Copy network diagnostics" button copies similar session details to your clipboard only when you click it, so that you can choose to share them in a bug report.

What We Do NOT Collect

• ◆ No personal information (name, email, IP address)
• ◆ No chat messages or free-form personal text (multiplayer chat is relayed by Steam and never collected or stored by us)
• ◆ No advertising identifiers
• ◆ No location data
• ◆ No social media information

Steam Integration

If you purchased the game through Steam, Valve's Steam client may collect data according to the Steam Privacy Policy. Global Protocol itself does not collect additional data through Steam beyond what is required for Steam Cloud save synchronization (if enabled by the user) and for multiplayer, described below.

Online Multiplayer

Multiplayer is optional and runs entirely on Steam's services. Dorlion Interactive does not operate game servers and does not receive your multiplayer traffic.

• ◆ Lobbies and invites: hosting, joining, friend invites and rich presence use Steam matchmaking. Other players in your lobby see your Steam display name and platform.
• ◆ Game traffic: player orders and world snapshots are exchanged only with the other players in your session, using Steam Networking. Connections may be direct or relayed through Valve's network; on a direct connection, other players' computers can see your IP address, as with any peer-to-peer game.
• ◆ Chat: lobby and in-game chat messages are sent through Steam lobby chat to the players in your session and are filtered according to your Steam text-filtering settings. We do not collect, store or log chat messages.

How to Opt Out

• ◆ Gameplay Analytics: Disable in the game's Settings > Privacy menu at any time.
• ◆ Steam Cloud: Disable Steam Cloud sync in the game's Settings menu or through Steam's per-game properties.

Data Deletion

You can submit a deletion request for this installation's analytics profile from Settings > Privacy in-game. This request applies to the local profile used by this installation.

Legal Bases (GDPR/UK GDPR)

• ◆ Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) for optional gameplay analytics.
• ◆ Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) for product stability and security diagnostics (for example crash analysis).

Third-Party Processors

Depending on enabled features, data may be processed by Unity services (for example Unity Analytics and Unity Cloud Diagnostics) and by platform providers such as Steam, each under their own privacy terms.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to processing, and to data portability where applicable. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Children's Privacy

Global Protocol does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The game contains no account system and no in-app purchases. Its only online communication feature is optional multiplayer chat, which runs through Steam and is subject to Steam's own account and parental controls.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the game evolves. Material changes will be noted in the game's patch notes and this document's "Last updated" date.
